Schools return, Court of Karen, and Anita Manning's antiques surgery.

On the phone in: Secondary schools in Scotland will reopen full time as planned after the Easter holidays. Are you relieved or concerned? Also: Court of Karen and antiques surgery.

PHONE IN: SCHOOL RETURN
Secondary schools in Scotland will reopen full time as planned after the Easter holidays. Pupils will no longer have to follow strict two metre physical distancing rules when they return, and must wear face coverings throughout the school. Nicola Sturgeon said 'virtually all' secondary pupils would be back in the classroom after the holidays. The first minister said the return to in-person, full-time learning would be 'a huge relief' to many children and parents. She acknowledged that there would be some 'concern and anxiety' about the move, but said safety would be 'paramount'.
